As a child, I used to read Reader’s Digest to improve reading skills, because it’s kind of simple and the word games were fun.

Then one day I realized there was something wrong with that magazine. It had me checkin’ in the bathroom for Bolsheviks.

At Pride on Sunday, I ran into this kinda sorta radical freethinker group.

I was thinking their email list would be a lot of fun, so I came home and subscribed. The very first one I received was a link to some typical empire propaganda piece in the New York Times. Immediate unsubscribe.

So disappointed. This shit is sick.

The “Queen” billboards burning through the night around town impress me as much as the Ukraine ones do.

I’m noticing certain things that run together:

— blaming all net failures on hackers from a certain country
— having a certain national flag in the bio
— stating “I’m a science-based person. I believe in science.”
— regularly posting fluff science-y articles. “It’s science Friday!”

Oh, I might as well say it, their POV on everything completely aligns with the US government. 😱

Another great memorable course I had at the “nearby university” was a Latin-American history course taught by a professor who was tortured in Chile during the Pinochet years.

One can imagine how rich the coursework was.

Just got the bill.

How ’bout that. 100% increase in my property taxes over just a few years ago. The gov. will say, “we didn’t increase taxes.”

No increase in the rate, maybe, but instead value my house up into the ozone.

Let’s see if we can slather on some bond issues every election to add to the fun.

Then, there are the ones that parade themselves for the TV cameras saying, “I’d gladly pay a little more in taxes if…”

That sounds fine as long as it’s just gladly YOUR taxes specifically.
